Some women do it for social status, absolutely - some men do too. Others do it for money, or fame, or because they have a nice house...
That is certainly not the norm and your suggestion that it is the norm and it is specifically for women is why you're being downvoted (at least, IMO).
I actually agree with a portion of the rest of your comment that beauty isn't that important... physical attraction is one facet of attraction and I'd argue it isn't even a particularly major one.
I think you're right, it may sound a bit strange from that point of view, I forgot to mention that 98% of men also function the same, although I must clarify that I am referring to a generality and not to a totality, meaning that there are exceptions.
